Great camera, great price...

 

Bought as a gift for my 15 yr old goddaughter. She really likes it. Takes good pictures too. Thinking of getting one for myself.

Great Pictures

 

Overall cant beat the deal.

For the price this thing takes great pictures. Bought it for my wife as an early Christmas present and was surprised by the quality of this camera

Doesn't come with a flash card so be sure to get one at the same time. Bought 8gig for 5 bucks

Nice Little Camera

 

I enjoy this nice little camera. The controls are easy to use and the picture quality is great. I enjoy the video quality as well. It was worth the price and I haven't came across any malfunctions.

What a bargain

 

I think you definitely get more than what you pay for. Great camera.. very mobile, can just fit about anywhere. Picture and video quality are great. As far as shipping goes, got it earlier then expected. All around good camera.

Consumer review by:

Good Camera

 

This is a very nice camera! I wanted one I could have in my purse all the time. I bought the orange. Now, everyone is taking my camera to take their pictures :) Great indoor and outdoor pictures.

This camera has regressed in technology

 

I'm very surprised anyone would give this camera a good review - but maybe it's their first digital camera or they owned a really, really bad one before. I had the previous olympus pocket digital camera, and it was so much better than this. Every time...
